Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 77 A Little Interlude Before the Simulation

"Hey, come with me."

Xia Yu was teasing the swans by the pond in the garden when he heard the sound and turned around. He saw Qian Renxue looking at him with a curious yet somewhat confused expression.

Qian Renxue had already reverted to her disguise. A few maids occasionally walked by, their eyes filled with admiration and worship as they looked at her, who was now wearing Xue Qinghe's disguise.

Xia Yu noticed this as well and said to Qian Renxue at the same time, "You're doing a pretty good job as the crown prince. I haven't seen many people who don't respect you."

"After working hard for so many years, you can achieve something no matter what you do."

Qian Renxue has reverted to being the same Crown Prince who always remained calm and composed in the face of adversity.

"That's true, after all these years."

Xia Yu nodded and replied casually.

The two walked one after the other, and soon fell silent again.

"that……"

"My name is Xia Yu. Your mother should have told you, right?"

Xia Yu asked in confusion, "After talking for so long, haven't they even mentioned my name? Does that mean my Vast Ocean Universe Cover still counts?"
“I know, she told me a lot about you, from your hidden strength to your abilities.” Qian Renxue saw Xia Yu’s expectant eyes and immediately understood what he wanted to hear. “And the reward she promised you.”

"Vast Ocean Universe Cover".

Xia Yu added.

Qian Renxue laughed when she heard this, but her posture remained feminine. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely get your reward."

"I can rest assured that."

The atmosphere between the two began to become harmonious. Xia Yu also felt that Qian Renxue's knowledge and communication skills were far superior to those of ordinary people. At least for the past few moments, his communication with Qian Renxue was quite comfortable.

When they got closer to the house, She Long was still lying on the corridor by the door, having a sweet dream. His expression was relaxed, and he was obviously immersed in the illusion and could not extricate himself.

Qian Renxue glanced at Xia Yu, but before she could speak, Xia Yu understood.

He snapped his fingers, and the Myriad Transformations Mask appeared, emitting a beam of red light. She Long's expression quickly changed; his facial muscles began to twitch and contort, and he finally snapped back to reality with a loud scream.

"what!"

He spotted Xia Yu and Qian Renxue immediately. When Qian Renxue gestured for him to step back, he gave Xia Yu a constipated look before quickly leaving.

"Why did Serpent Spear Douluo have that expression before he regained consciousness?"

Qian Renxue asked, then pushed open the door and stepped inside first.

"Because I turned his beautiful dream into a nightmare, from something wonderful he didn't want to leave into something he feared most."

Xia Yu's fingertips flashed red light as he smiled at Qian Renxue and said, "Your Highness, would you like to give it a try?"

Qian Renxue seemed somewhat tempted, wanting to see what she liked and feared most, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.

"No, let's save this for later."

Hearing Qian Renxue's refusal, Xia Yu also withdrew his soul skill. It was normal for her to refuse. Who would be willing to go through their most frightening experience in front of someone they had known for less than an hour?

"Please take a seat."

Qian Renxue sat in the main seat and then extended an invitation to Xia Yu, who was still standing.

Xia Yu plopped down and looked at Qian Renxue, who was still smiling, and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it now."

"Xia Yu, you don't need to be in such a hurry, because the reward you were promised is still in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace's treasury."

Qian Renxue lied without batting an eye. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover had long been stolen by the ghost and was now lying in her soul tool, along with her wealth.

"When will I receive my payment?"

Xia Yu frowned. He didn't plan to stay in Tiandou City for too long. He still needed to go to the far north to find the location of those ferocious beasts' homeland.

“I need an opportunity, do you understand?” Qian Renxue crossed her arms and spoke calmly. “Even though I am now the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, I cannot enter the Royal Treasury at will. It is not only located in the most secluded part of the palace, but it also uses the Heaven Dou Empire’s most powerful defense technology. Even if I get there, it will not be easy to open.”

"Do you know where the key is? I can go get it myself."

Xia Yu only needed the information she knew; she could handle everything else herself. "I don't know."

Qian Renxue shook her head. Even though Xia Yu had some doubts, she wasn't worried at all that he would expose her lies.

After all, the palace's treasury was indeed heavily guarded. There were three keys in total, but only two were needed to unlock it. Two of them were with Xueye, and the last one was with her.

Even if Xia Yu really doubted her, Qian Renxue could openly say, "You've never been the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, how do you know if this is true or not?"
"When can you help me get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?"

Xia Yu indeed thought Qian Renxue was talking nonsense, and then planned to sneak into the palace to see for himself.

"It won't be long before I get the key from Xueye's hand, and I can help you obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Qian Renxue dropped her disguise, and the blonde beauty immediately smiled sweetly. Xia Yu nodded reluctantly, pressing his cup repeatedly, feeling as if he had been tricked by Qian Renxue.

"By the way, Xia Yu, I have a question for you."

Qian Renxue suddenly remembered that when she was chatting with Bibi Dong earlier, Bibi Dong couldn't stop talking about Xia Yu, and said...

Then her golden eyes fixed on Xia Yu's face, trying to observe the changes in his expression.

"You said."

Xia Yu couldn't figure out what she was trying to do. Seeing her serious expression, he thought it was something important.

"You and Bibi Dong wouldn't have any connection, would you?"

"?"

Xia Yu suddenly realized that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were indeed mother and daughter; they both had a knack for saying things that were both incomprehensible and made people want to curse.

Seeing that Xia Yu remained silent, Qian Renxue also fell silent, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward.

The stalemate was broken only when the small mask in Qian Renxue's hand flashed again, and Bibi Dong's voice came from it.

"Xiaoxue, how was your chat?"

Xia Yu glanced at Qian Renxue, thinking to himself speechlessly, 'They're having such a good chat, your daughter's practically imagining a new dad for herself.'

"It's not bad."

Qian Renxue's face turned bright red, and she began to stammer when answering Bibi Dong. She didn't dare to look Xia Yu in the eye, afraid of seeing the mockery she had shown because of her previous behavior.

"That's good, then I won't ask any more questions."

Before Bibi Dong could finish speaking, she noticed that the mask mark on her index fingernail had faded.

Although she felt that Qian Renxue's tone was a bit strange, she didn't pay much attention to it. The simulator panel in front of her was emitting a blue light, and the cooldown time in the center of the panel had been reduced to zero.

"Great, what an amazing simulator! Let me see if I can succeed in the future!"

[The emulator cooldown has ended. It was a pleasure serving you.]

[Seven people can be simulated at present. Please select.]

Option 1: Hu Liena

Option 2: Qian Renxue

Option 3: Moon Pass

Option 4: Ghostly

Option Five: Evil Moon

Option Six: Xia Yu

Option Seven: Yan

Before the simulation even began, Bibi Dong had already decided who she would be simulating.

What Bibi Dong wants to see this time is whether she can become stronger by bearing the power of faith after becoming a god.

Xie Yue has no say in this matter, and Hu Liena is unlikely to know about it this time either. The only person qualified and trustworthy enough to participate in this matter is her daughter, Qian Renxue, who is also capable of reaching the realm of gods.
